This is my 949th and last blog post for Glamour. It has been a wild three years, from clubbing in St. Maarten to getting Lyme disease in Nantucket, from celebrating my 30th birthday with 80 girls, to getting dumped and dumped and dumped. (Btw, thanks for the 183 comments you left me the day after Scott left me. We showed him!) read more

This morning, Singles Parties NYC invited me to a Singles Boat Party aboard the 100-foot-long yacht Cabana. The event involves a three-hour cruise around Manhattan with 200 singles and, of course, a “top DJ.” It costs about $30-$50, depending on when you buy your ticket. Sounds fabulous. But don’t sign me up. (I don’t live in NYC anyway, but even if I did...) read more

Ryan Reynolds is not ready to date, reports People (via Details). That’s understandable—and very cool that he can admit it, given that everyone knows his ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, has clearly moved on and is having a thing with Sean Penn. read more

Remember on the show Cheers, how hard Sam Malone worked to get Diane to go out with him? Remember how it took something like eight years for Tony and Angela to kiss on Who’s the Boss? Oh, the suspense! Will they or won’t they? Well, these days, TV romance looks different. I just read on The Daily Beast about The Death of Will-They-or-Won't-They, as the writers of shows like Community, Parks and Recreation, and Cougar Town speed up the romantic plotlines and just get their characters together. read more

I’ve always been attracted to smiley, happy, enthusiastic guys—they’re my favorite! But a new study from the University of British Columbia shows that on first glance, women prefer guys who aren't happy or smiling. read more

One of my college friends just told me she'd had an “overshare” moment with her parents yesterday. She was filling them in on the guy she is seeing casually—he’s an amazing musician and a really incredible person all around. But she happened to mention that he has a few tattoos and one nipple piercing. By the way they reacted, she told me, you’d think he was a card-carrying communist or something. So she was really bummed, but she did express relief that she hadn't said something like, “His hands are deceptively small.” Ha! read more

A group of researchers have published a study about commitment in the June issue of Psychological Science. They found that a good predictor of becoming a strong partner in a relationship was having had a supportive, involved mother as a toddler and, as an adolescent, having been able to work through conflicts. If a person had the opposite, they were more likely to be commitmentphobes (or just not as invested). read more

Have you noticed a recent trend in web sites that offer personal advice? The latest, Almost Free Therapy, is like Web MD for couples therapy. The site, which went live May 15, provides sessions geared toward specific problems, such as what to do when you feel invisible, if you need space, or if your partner clams up when you’re arguing. read more

Betty White was just interviewed about her favorite mistake for Newsweek. She said that she’d had two bad marriages and there'd been a time that she really beat herself up for having said yes to marrying them. The divorces made her feel like a “failure.” She continued: “But they did make me appreciate it when the perfect one came along.” read more

Confession: I was practically devastated back when I heard about Jude Law cheating on his then-fiance, Sienna Miller. I mean, it was quite disappointing to find out someone you crushed on so hard had done something so dishonorable. At the time, I thought that was the worse cheating scandal ever. read more

A friend of mine just got back from a trip to meet her boyfriend’s parents. She was telling me that not three minutes after meeting her boyfriend’s dad, he began showing her a video of his golf swing on his iPhone read more

A new report based on census data and a survey of 55,000 people is showing the changes in marriage and divorce since the 1940s. One of the biggest findings is that almost half of all women ages 25-29 have never walked down the aisle. In 1986, only a quarter of women in that group had never married. Yikes! Glad I'm not in 1986. read more

Friends of the Earth, an environmental group in the U.K., commissioned a video about two milk cartons that meet in a factory, get shipped to the same grocery store, and well, I’ll let you watch (after the jump!). read more

It’s good to be Bar Refaeli! Sure, she just split from Leonardo DiCaprio, her boyfriend of five years, but she’s still got a ton going for her. She’s just 25, a Sports Illustrated model, and she is currently being photographed wearing gorgeous designer clothes in Cannes (while, *cough*, her ex is on a yacht with Blake Lively et al. Still.). Here she was yesterday read more

Well, this is surprising. According to new data from Chemistry.com, singles living in Miami, Florida do not like PDA. Yes, Miami: where people are often thought of as wearing little clothing. The city ranks 95 out of 100 for comfort with PDA, in fact, and Las Vegas, a.k.a. Sin City is 92. And the places where people are most into it? Shockingly, New York City, which is often associated with being home to rude and unfriendly people, and Waco, Texas (when I hear that name, all I can think of is David Koresh and the Branch Davidians). But they love their PDA. Honolulu, Hawaii, however, loves it most. read more

This morning, my friend from NYC was telling me about a crush she has. She sees the guy at various parties about three times a year, and he always brings a beautiful girlfriend. Some of these women have been actual models (this reminds me of the “modelizer” episode on SATC). My friend decided that the guy must need some sort of validation, and that dating pretty women makes him feel better about himself. read more

Do you ever mix drinks at home, or does your guy usually play bartender? Does he always open the bottle of champers and stock the beer? Well, why not surprise him tonight with a sexy cocktail? Our friend and Delicious Dating author Babe Scott says the martini is “seduction in a glass.” So we asked this self-proclaimed manthropologist to write a little guide on making this all-important drink (after the jump!). read more

The other day, I was at an industry event that happened to be like, 95% men. So I was joking around with my all-female co-workers (from a company where I work when I’m not here at Smitten!), that they should keep their eyes peeled for me. read more
